Office of Civil Defense Region-10 Regional Director Antonio Sugarol announced formal RDRRMC drought advisories for Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Camiguin, and Misamis Oriental as dry conditions continue into 2027.
Sugarol emphasized that prolonged dry spells threaten municipal water reserves, agricultural food security, public health, energy generation, and grassland fire prevention.
He urged local chief executives to execute proactive mitigation measures independently rather than awaiting national agency intervention.
